The Unified State of Vesra is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Autarch Anya Praxton with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 16.43 billion Vesrans are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kynosia. The average income tax rate is 93.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vesran economy, worth a remarkable 2,938 trillion Astrals a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 178,848 Astrals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genetic research is facing major headwinds, savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, and the highest sporting award is the Grail of Tears. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vesra's national animal is the Dramax, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Vesra is ranked 7,922^nd in the world and 1^st in Estanova for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,492.2 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
